Playing devil's advocate for a moment: @p{par}

"Security theater" is popular.  It makes people feel safer.  Bitcoin-the-program will probably be more popular if it asks for a password before sending and there is a bullet-point on the feature list:  "State of the art AES-256 encryption." @p{par}

I believe TrueCrypt is open source; maybe it would be easy to use their password handling / encryption code in bitcoin.  Anybody here looked at their code? @p{brk}
